Strategy Roadmap
This tool contains a brief description of the sixteen elements you might consider as you develop your cultural education strategy. How would you use these elements in your roadmap for change?
What are our shared values and ambitions? What problems have we identified and how do we develop and articulate an effective vision and strategy? What is compelling and could only happen through joint working?
If you are at this Define stage, you will have formed a strategic partnership and done some local analysis of the challenges you might address. You are now at a stage where you will be exploring your own vision and strategy underpinned by this knowledge, that also addresses the desires of your partners. Don’t be tempted to pin this down too soon, priorities may change. Undertaking further local consultation and research, listening to and even co-defining with some of your young beneficiaries is an important step at this stage. You should also seek data relevant to your local challenges to orient yourselves more.
There are many ingredients from the Powerful Partnerships set that feel relevant to the Define stage; we have selected some key ones here. The resources that map against these ingredients aim to support the developing partnership with questions and tools for defining a collective purpose, developing a vision and strategy, and self-reflection about how the partnership is functioning.
